Just finished the subject book in <3 days (unputdownable).

Tremendous account by fellow PPRuNer (& former Tonka Nav) John Nichol of a major raid by Bomber Command in WW2, with huge crew losses. Personal story insights of combatants & civilians literally 'puts flesh on the bones' of the raw statistics of BC's 55,573 dead in WW2.

Wholeheartedly recommended.
